# Service bulletin SSPA3

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## NHTSA's summary

Mazda Motor Corporation has decided to conduct a Special Service Program \(SSP\) on certain 2015\-2016 Mazda3 vehicles built from January 5, 2015 through October 9, 2015. On certain subject vehicles, the air pressure of the spare tire may be lower than the specification. Dealers are to check the spare tire air pressure, and adjust the air pressure as necessary. The spare tire air pressure check and adjustment must be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner. NOTE: Spare tire inflation pressure check is included in PDI procedures. This campaign expires March 1, 2017.

Mazda has developed factory recommended scheduled maintenance services that support all major vehicle systems. Mazda recommends dealers follow the scheduled maintenance tables as cited in the vehicle\-specific workshop manual or owner's manual. Services performed outside of Mazda's factory scheduled maintenance are not recommended. These services are unnecessary and create unneeded expenses for your customers.

- [MT\-002\-20](/bulletins/10179228.md), 2020-09-02, Service bulletin: TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS; WHEELS. New CARB regulation regarding mandatory checking and documenting of tire pressure whenever a vehicle is in for service work. This applies to all service shops \(including Mazda dealerships\) in California effective September 1, 2010.
- [MT\-010\-18](/bulletins/10152371.md), 2018-12-17, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS. Some vehicles \(with MAZDA CONNECT\) may exhibit a condition where DTC U0323\(PCM\) / U0423\(ABS\) /U3000\(IC\) CANNOT be deleted when the TPMS warning light flashes and/or the TCS/DSC indicator lights are illuminated. This can happen if the ignition is turned OFF within 20 seconds after the ignition is turned ON in one of the following two situations. 1. The ?ROOM? fuse \(Engine compartment\) is NOT installed when battery level is low. 2. The CMU \(Connectivity Master Unit\) is NOT connected.
- [02\-011\-18\-3476](/bulletins/10142520.md), 2018-07-02, Service bulletin: TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS. This service bulletin illustrates the conditions when a TPMS warning light may illuminate, why it illuminated and how to properly initialize the system.The Tire Pressure Monitoring System \(TPMS\) monitors the tire pressure of all four tires indirectly using the data sent from the ABS wheel speed sensors. If the air pressure of one or more tires is too low compared with the specified value \(the initial value learned by the system\), the system warns the driver with the TPMS warning light in the instrument cluster and a beep sound. To allow the TPMS to operate correctly, it is essential that the TPMS be initialized to learn new conditions whenever a tire related service is performed.
- [02\-009\-18\-3472](/bulletins/10142518.md), 2018-07-02, Service bulletin: TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS. Customer complaints have been reported where the TPMS warning light is unnecessarily illuminated because the TPMS initialization was not performed correctly before customer delivery.TPMS INITIALIZATION PROCESS: When any of the services below is performed, BE SURE TO INITIALIZE THE TPMS BEFORE DRIVING THE VEHICLE by pushing and holding the TPMS Set Switch on the dash until the TPMS warning light flashes two times and the warning beep sounds once. The TPMS must be initialized in the following cases: 1. Tire pressures have been adjusted in one or more tires. 2. Tires have been rotated. 3. Tires or wheels have been replaced. 4. The vehicle's battery cable has been disconnected for any reason. 5. The vehicle's battery has been discharged. 6. The DSC HU/CM connector has been disconnected for any reason.
